Harvested, hand-picked and pressed in Cordoba, Spain – the Extra Virgin Olive Oil by ILĀ. Warm, fruity and nutty in flavour, the olives are picked and pressed in a 100-year old mill situated among the ancient groves of Andalusia. The olives are of exceptional quality and are said to produce a richer, smoother olive oil with a more golden hue than its Italian counterpart.
Introducing Verso Skincare. Founded by Lars Fredriksson, the Stockholm based skincare brand has developed a product line-up, which consists of a six-step system formulated with the active ingredient – Retinol 8 – to make your skin appear younger and healthier. Hence, the name Verso: philologically, the word verso stems from Latin and means reverse.
Verso has created a formula that helps the skin cells to mimic the way young cells behave, therefore reducing the signs of aging. This formula is called Retinol 8. It is a complex containing a new Vitamin A derivative that is not only 8 times more effective that traditional Retinol, but also much more gentle for the skin. Arguably, Retinol 8 is clinically proven to smooth the appearance of wrinkles, strengthen the skin, reduce pigmentation and supply the skin with more energy and oxygen. Each Verso Skincare product has a unique concentration of Retinol 8.
The Verso Super Eye Serum
Firming and smoothing, Number 5 in Verso’s line-up is a light and refreshing serum designed for the eye area. Formulated with Verso’s patented Retinol 8 complex and specific amino acids, the serum helps to increase the skin’s natural production of collagen and will help diminish eye puffiness, dark circles and lines.
The nice thing about it is that it works. Since the serum is quite rich and in itself moisturising, we suggest applying it over night.
We’re big fans of the Cubic Cable Holders by Kebei Li. Geometric in shape, minimalist in design, yet functional at its core, the cable holders serve as an anchor to ensure that your wires do not fall of your desk after unplugging them. Available in brass, copper and steel.
We introduced you to Taiwanese design studio, Ystudio, last year. Today, we are happy to announce that founders Yi and Yanko are expanding their range of simplistic, meticulously crafted stationery objects to include two new pens: The ‘Weight of Words’ collection will see the release of The Classic Sketching Pencil and The Classic Ballpoint Pen. The two new additions are made from brushed brass and will be available from April 1st.
‘The Weight of Words’
Yi and Yanko wish to remind us of the beautiful things that have been forgotten as time goes by. “The meaning of writing to modern people has gradually changed […] Writing has evolved from a way to convey words to a medium to express emotions. ‘Weight’ represents not only a deep emotion, but it also stands for a meaningful commitment: deep, heavy and indelible.”
Manufactured in scorching heat with temperatures of more than one thousand degrees, Ystudio’s stationery pieces are handcrafted by local masters using traditional manufacturing techniques. Material: Brass. Price €70-90.
Founded by tea fanatic, yoga teacher and Japan lover, Iona Carter, TWIG Teas source, cold brew and bottle premium quality teas. After spending her holiday in Kanazawa, where she discovered cold brewed tea for the very first time, she started experimenting with cold brewing techniques and various types of teas.
That being said, what makes TWIG so special is the fact that it is cold brewed; we are not talking about simply cold tea here, or your standard ice tea (typically brewed hot and then refrigerated). Cold brewing is a unique process that involves steeping tea leaves over a long period of time in cold water, which draws a different flavour profile from the leaf. Compared to hot brewing, the process produces fewer bitter catechins and caffeine, resulting in a sweeter, smoother taste and a naturally refreshing drink. And believe us, you can taste the difference!
As tea purists, “I wanted to create a range of tea drinks that allowed the flavour of real tea to sing for itself, rather than drowning it in fruit flavours and sugar.”
Currently, the TWIG family comprises four teas, including two black teas: a Darjeeling from India, and a Keemun from China; as well as an Oolong from Taiwan; and a roasted green tea from Japan:
Darjeeling, 'The Champagne of Teas’, originates from India. The 2nd flush black Darjeeling is grown on the ethically-minded Arya estate, established by 18th Century Buddhist monks in the lush green mountains of Darjeeling;
Keemun, from China, used to be known as 'The King of Black Teas’. Keemun is grown exclusively in Qimen, Anhui province, situated between the Yellow Mountains and the Yangtze River;
Oolong is a unique, partially oxidised tea, which sits between black and green varieties. TWIG uses Formosa Oolong, from the Northern Hsinchu area of Taiwan, which grows at an altitude of 800m and has an oxidisation level of 65%;
Bōcha is a Japanese roasted green tea made using the twigs and stalks of the tea plant, rather than the leaves. TWIG’s is produced by the tea master Mr Nakagawa, in Shiga Prefecture.
We came across Danish skincare brand, NUORI, only quite recently. The brand not only offers a range of remarkable face, hand and body care products but has an impressively uncompromising approach to freshness and purity.
Freshness is at the core of the brand. And to ensure this, NUORI products are freshly blended every 12 weeks. More than that, their products are labelled with two dates, indicating a ‘start-using-by date’ and an ‘expiry date’ to allow sufficient time to fully benefit from the formula. This approach stems from the notion that freshness ensures 100% efficacy, as natural active ingredients are not weakened by time-related breakdown. This understanding is linked to the findings of numerous scientific studies that have proven that essential active agents such as vitamins A, C and E are unstable in cosmetic formulations, loosing their beneficial properties in just a few months.
100% free from: synthetic preservatives, and other additives normally used to push the expiry date of beauty products.
NUORI’s lightweight Vital Facial Cream, for instance, brings back your skin’s vitality and helps prevent and reduce first signs of aging. Formulated with hyaluronic acid – known for its extremely hydrating action – this cream restores the skin’s natural moisture levels. While botanical squalane, jojoba oil and sweet almond oil nourish the your skin, a complex of shea butter, vitamin C and E offers antioxidant protection.
A few weeks ago i was introduced to Kristina Krogh's limited edition art prints and liked them immediately. The geometric shapes, colors and textures convinced me. Especially the photography is outstanding and a great fit for Goods We Like.
Her inspiration comes from places and objects that surrounds her; a beautiful old parquet, a marble floor in a church, stained glass windows, a bike ride through the streets of Copenhagen – among many other things.
You should definitely get your hand on one of these prints and check out more unique design on her website.
With the celebration of high quality craftsmanship and a passion for fabrics and pattern-making, one could presume a meticulous and honest interest for proper care. According to Tangent GC co-founder, David Samuelsson, we stopped caring somewhere along the way when mass produced, cheap, and oftentimes deficient clothing was introduced. For this reason, Tangent GC set out with the aim to provide a range of superior clothing and shoe care products – not emanating from the chemical industry or flung off conveyor belts – but non-mass-produced, chemical-free products that naturally and effectively give your garments a long life.
We came across Susanne Kaufmann’s wonderful products not so long ago. Susanne Kaufmann – renowned for their organic, natural and effective body treatments – comes from the Bregenzer Forest, Austria; a beautiful valley in the Austrian Alps where the knowledge of nature’s healing powers are passed down from generation to generation. This said, it is not surprising that Susanne Kaufmann’s skin-specific formulas are based and inspired by the intensive effects of the Alpine flora.
Beauty, health and comfort are values that strongly drive the brand’s vision to develop powerful results-oriented treatments from precious natural ingredients. The company’s collection of products includes facial, anti-aging and body treatments and baths manufactured and hand-packaged in their own facility amidst the Bregenzer Forest.
OILS
The Susanne Kaufmann ‘Oil Bath for the Senses’ and ‘Witch Hazel Bath’ are a relaxing experience after a strenuous day. While the former consists of the oils of the ylang-ylang tree, patchouli plant and lavender, the latter is based on active ingredients derived from the medicinal witch-hazel plant that helps the skin regain its balance and regulates its oil content.
FACIAL CARE
Susanne Kaufmann products are created from valuable natural essences, oils and single substances. Here, the level of active plant ingredients is particularly high. While the mild Susanne Kaufmann cleansing milk contains a herbal compound of chamomile, sage and St. John’s wort flowers, the cleansing gel Line M for men contains active ingredient compounds derived from witch-hazel and ribwort. Both products include skin nourishing components that clean and protect your skin.
